Bahamas
Tour
Located in waters west of the bluff of North
Bimini are beautiful square blocks and perfectly
straight alignments of the stones called
the Bimini Road. Fifteen hundred feet long,
these stones lie in an orderly row. It is
believed that this was part of the road
system of the Lost Continent of Atlantis.
According to some researchers, the site
is completely identical in design to a known
harbour and installations submerged in the
Mediterranean, which indicates they were
built in the same period by the same seafaring
people. It is a popular dive and snorkeling
site which can be accessed by boat only.

after that incident. After that incident,
the resulting landscape was a spectacular
cross between a botanical garden and something
like a Roman ruin. This is also one of the
most visited sites in Bahamas.
